first email advice

[CaptainJon]

I am always stuck what to write on the first email. Lately I havent been getting any responses. I know to keep it short, dont talk about myself, ask questions. But I really don't want to sound like a ****, I want to sound interested, and I am friendly and not a jerk, but how do I even get her interested enough to respond?

this is an abridged version of a profile of a girl i like to email but i dont know how to get the ball rolling on the first email.

besides,

Hey,

What kind of music do you listen to? ....

ttyl,
Jon

Just tell her what you liked about her profile, wouldn't that be the reason you're replying?

rather not go with the usual canned music question, so i can mention the job she has and say it sounds interesting and say a joke about donald trump sicne it is real estate..nothing too corny but something to show interest. i am articulate i think but i get so flustered when it comes with girls, but once i get to know them it is so easy...
